Place the chopped potatoes in a large casserole dish.
5 medium yellow-fleshed potatoes
Add the smashed garlic cloves to the potatoes.
10 garlic cloves
Pour 1/2 the olive oil and lemon juice mixture over the potatoes and smashed garlic. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Arrange the chicken drumsticks and legs on top of the potatoes, and pour the rest of the olive oil mixture on top.
6 skin-on
Use two hands to spread the seasonings evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Toss them slightly to ensure an even coating. Then, arrange the chicken pieces back on top of the potatoes.
Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender and the chicken is a deep golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
